In context
Every figure in this section is a count, a rank or a percentile over vessels actually held in this registry — not over the world fleet, which is larger. Nothing here is estimated.
At 1,300 gross tons, USCGC Juniper is the 63,299th largest of the 84,014 vessels in this registry that report a tonnage. The median across that set is 5,994 GT, so this hull is about 4.6 times smaller than the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 58,086 vessels this registry holds no type classification for held here, it ranks 35,706th by tonnage — larger than 28% of that group. Their median tonnage is 5,358 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 54,309 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Panama (5,698 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is HD Hyundai Mipo, with 615 hulls on record.
United States is the country of registry for 2,278 vessels in this directory, of which USCGC Juniper is the 865th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (977 ships), and the median vessel measures 1,706 GT. Browse every ship flagged United States.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 977 vessels this registry holds no type classification for flying the United States flag, of which 306 are larger by tonnage.
USCGC Juniper was built in 1996, making it 30 years old. It is one of 1,254 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 7,254 GT; within it this ship is the 992nd largest. Across the whole of the 1990s the registry holds 12,006 vessels, median 4,956 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
At 69.0 m overall, USCGC Juniper is 46.0 m shorter than the 115.0 m median for vessels this registry holds no type classification for on record, with a beam of 46.0 m and a draft of 13.0 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9155535 this registry holds 62 other vessels, whose median build year is 1998 and which range from 1996 to 2003. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1996.
Its IMO number, 9155535, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 1×6 + 5×5 + 5×4 + 5×3 + 3×2 = 135 — and the last digit of that total, 5, must equal the seventh digit, 5. It does, so this number is well formed.
